[net.theater] National Amateur Theater Competition

*** ATTENTION AMATEUR THESBIANS ***

My director was telling me that Showtime is conducting a year-long Amateur
Theater Competition.  All of the following facts are secondhand:  The
competition runs from 1/1/85 to 12/31/85.  Showtime wants an unedited 
videotape of your amateur production's best performance or dress rehearsal.
The videotape must be made from the back of the house with a single camera.
All judging will be done by theatrical experts, and will take place after 12/31.
Prizes of $1000. per theater will go to the top 5(?).  The winning theater
will receive $20,000.  Showtime will not broadcast any of the winning shows;
rather, they are looking for new ideas for shows and new talent.

He told me this because we (Bremerton Community Theater) are taping our
soon-to-open "To Kill a Mockingbird" and submitting it.  I do not know
who to get in touch with for confirmation of any of the above, but if there
is a serious interest, I will ask my director.
